Jubilate Singers present “Shakespeare Remembered”

Jubilate Singers present “Shakespeare Remembered” on Saturday 23rd April 2016, 7.30 p.m. at St Michael’s and All Angels Church, 86-90 Durham Street, Christchurch.

The Jubilate Singers are celebrating the life and works of William Shakespeare on Saturday 23rd April 2016.  To commemorate the 400th anniversary of his death we will perform some wonderful choral settings of his timeless texts.

Our programme covers songs from nine Shakespeare plays including the haunting ‘Come Away Death’ by Mantyjarvi and the playful ‘Oh Mistress Mine’ from Twelfth Night, to varied settings of ‘Who is Sylvia’, ‘It Was a Lover and His Lass’ and ‘When Daisies Pied’.  A set of songs from Othello and ‘Caliban’s Song’ from the Tempest by New Zealand’s own David Hamilton.  Compositions by Vaughan Williams and William Mathias complete our concert.

We aim to delight and enterain you with music from the Bard and some instrumental interludes from Jonathan Le Cocq and friends.

“But that’s all one, our play is done and we’ll strive to please you …”
